Abstract: Eight crystalline substances are isolated from leaves of Amentotaxus argotaenia native to China. Five of them are identified as known A-homo-5-cholest-6-en-3-One, cyclobalanone, nonacosan-10-ol, r-sitosterol and β-sitosterol. The others seem to be new components, whose structures will be studied further.

Key words: Amentotaxus argotaenia, Taxaceae, A-homo-5-cholest-6-en-3-One, cyclobalanone, nonacosan-10-ol, r-sitosterol, β-sitosterol
